    Mr. Chaplin's first take on mistaken identity (which continued through "The Pilgrim" and "The Great Dictator"), as the Tramp gets embroiled in high-society blunder. One of Chaplin's best shorts.

    Entertaining but not as much as most of his filmography. I was disappointed since I didn't laugh more than once. He just didn't master his art yet. But it's still worth watching if you are a fan and want to see his debut.

    I know I've seen it but I don't remember it.
